Just to update...I installed this and set to roaming only at my house where I have 1x and 1 bar with sprint. I now can roam with 2-3 bars and data on 1x coming through just fine!! I CANT WAIT TO TRY IT UPTOWN ON ALLTELS EVDO!!! Man today is a truely exciting day 4 me at least. :D I suggest EVERYONE install this!!

What I posted was just the .pri information I guess e.g a couple of files.

Basically, the original file was a lot bigger and had more stuff, and it required a hard-reset so what I posted was something that

a) will fix the ring through
b) not require a hard reset

having said that I'm not too sure exactly what is and what isn't included.

but here is the full file which DOES require a hard-reset :shock: and is 43mb (it's an entire ROM):

where did this ROM come from? surely it isnt offical...oh well Im downloading it and gonna flash it and see. :) also to let everyone know I noticed push mail doesnt work when roaming but u can maunally send and recieve.

It's unofficial Sprint.

I don't think there is anything else involved though as the build/AKU numbers are the same as the March ROM :cry:

So I don't think there are any goodies...

Do u know the author? I would like to know how he done this from my research it was slim to impossible to build a ROM for the apache (hehe at least for a novice like myself) at least thats what most of my research lead too. and that stinks...I think I may flash it just to see tho. :D

I installed the PPST.exe app and a Default.ppst PRI file and soft reset. I no longer get the "Data Roaming Prohibited" warning but I still cannot data roam. I checked the provider when on roam - 444 - Altell.

My phone specs:
ROM 2.06.00 WWE
Radio 1.12.00
PRL 20222
PRI 1.18_003

I get these errors -

Data Call Failure
Error Code 106
System Error - Sign in Failed

Data Call Failure
Error Code 66
Network Error-Sign in Failed

Cannot Connect - No modem at #777

Do I need to update to 20224 to get the data roaming working.. does the PRL have anything to do with this or is it that Altell in this area has just not updated to reflect the Sprint data roaming agreement??

Any help would be appreciated.

nall Im usign an older PRL myself and it works fine. I just installed the ppst.exe.....try installing again and a soft reset....then give it another go. Trust me it works. :D

Ok so after installing the full rom the only changes that are made that stick out is that u can do the data roaming. I noticed the Extended Rom version is different but it contains those extra .cabs which contain the fixes. And the Radio image is also updated mine from 1.12.00 to 1.27.00. Oh and the first thing u see when it starts up is the Sprint screen that says "Test Only Not For Sale" hehe. Nice. :thumbleft: I will upload the lockup .cab and whatever others I find useful. ;)

looking over the .cabs more closely.....it says that they where made 8/5/05 which the ROM we currently have the cab files say 8/14/05 which looks like sprint didnt wanna release this or it needed further testing but that just doesnt make any since to me at least.....wonder why that is. All I know it data roaming is sweet. :D

I re-ran PRI1.18_003Update.zip on my phone. I still cannot data roam. I used to get "Data Roaming Prohibited" before I ran PRI 1.18

Now I get these errors -

Data Call Failure
Error Code 106
System Error - Sign in Failed

Data Call Failure
Error Code 66
Network Error-Sign in Failed

Cannot Connect - No modem at #777


I think it has something to do with Altell in my market maybe?? Anybody else having troubles?? Do I need to install the full 43mb rom update??
